This is a bit off topic for this group, but knowing how helpful everyone is I thought it was worth a try. I am looking for a copy of the C.M.Howes Circuit for...
Hi Graeme/ Gerry and all Finallly got the 840A fired up today.....no smoke so far. Actually I am running it thru a ?Watt bulb in series for a while as i dont...
Rod: I had the dial rubbing problem on my 888A and my 750 when I first got them. I used the same solution for both, but you might like to get confirmation from...
Rod, The solution Chris describes should resolve the catching problem if the vernier scale itself is not distorted. On my 940, the vernier scale was quite ...
Gm All, and thanks for those tips lads. The vernier does'nt seem to be warped but it just keeps hitting that one spot .....very annoying. Re the voltage...
Hi Chris, would you believe the flywheel screw is loose and while i have not yet tightened it that appears to be where the problem is. well done you and thanks...
As a matter of interest would anyone care to hazard a guess as to VA rating of an autotransformer suitable for supplying 110v to my 840A, or any radio for that...
Hello Rod, According to the 840 folder the current consumption is about 0.3A at all input voltages. Using 115 Volts on your Eddystone means that the receiver...
Ok Tor, All points taken on board. I will have a look at your article later but my 840 does indeed have Thermistor and pilot light. Applied 230v earlier and i...
Hi All, Is it normal for the volume control to work anti-clockwise. I must say its new to me. Explains why i was'nt geiing any audio. working fine (ish) now...
Hi Rod, I do not possess an 840A but other sets I have from the same era have RF gain controls that increase the gain as they are turned clockwise. If yours ...
No, sounds as if someone has replaced the control incorrectly. There's only three connections. Ron. Rod ei7df <rwalsh@...> wrote: Hi All, Is it normal for...
Hi Ian, I seem to somehow have deleted your last email replies to my questions. To get this replica 1837 project underway, I would like to start with the...
GM Gerry, Yes it is a 10K Lin type and probably carbon also. So i guess its connected incorrectly. While I have your ear it seems the STANDBY switch is in need...
Hi Chris, So as you said turn it over and i did and tightened up the flywheel while pushing it foreward slightly and that worked thanks for the tip Rod ... got...
Rod, Regarding the switch cleaning, the best approach depends on the switch construction and if the inside of the switch body can be accessed. I managed to...
Can anybody tell me where I can get a mains lead for the above receiver? The plug on the set has three pins, the earth one is flat, not round and the other two...
Andy, You will almost certainly not find one of the original mains lead connectors. I have already been thru this for a number of my MkII style receivers. Best...
Andy, See attached as per Mikes comments. I think there are more details in one or two of my restoration articles. As Mike says, the beauty of this mod is ...
Hi Gerry, I'll certainly try this, thanks for the info Andy, GM0REZ ... _________________________________________________________________ Celeb spotting –...
Hello just curious this receiver Eddystone 770R was it used by the British Secret Service MI6 or was it a diplomats receiver just wanted to know if someone has...
Hello Anthony, For the story of the 770R go to 'the Cooke Report' in the EUG Home Page. Turn to page 10, Part 4, and enjoy! Graeme G3GGL ... From: Anthony...
Restoration continues on my 659. I have posted a picture of it now, (in the photo section of user group, 659B Restoration), complete with speaker. The radio...
Some of you remember my request for idea'a a while back when I reported an intermittent low sensitivity problem on my 770U MkII. I have this reciever in my...
Hi, nice to hear you're getting to the root of things! Concerning the scale calibration and alignment: I have it from Bill Cooke (chief engineer at Eddystone...
Thanks for the input Graeme, I was going to ask you if you had any Eddystone old boy input. I think I am probably going to make do with where I am however I do...
... Page. ... the ... wanted ... Thank you Graeme for the information I looked it up on EUG Cooke Report .I was getting kind of bored and my radio shack lately...
Yes Anthony I saw this and have a 770R MkII. But the 770U MkII is a very different receiver RF wise. Different turret and different coil biscuits Best, Mike ...
